...A social policy that could affect my future position as a human services worker is the welfare policies. Changes to the welfare system could affect a worker in this area in two ways. If benefits were cut, it could have a huge effect on the lives of many, and if someone was working on a one to one basis with people who were on benefits this could affect the relationship that the two parties have. Another effect of a change to welfare policies would be that there would be less people needed to work in the sector, and job losses may be required. A private organization suggests that outsourcing of social services takes place, broadly, in two forms. Under one method, government agencies contract with private providers to deliver single components of a larger program and or job training and placement for TANF recipients, for example. Alternatively, agencies may look to private contractors to deliver a comprehensive set of program services in a specific location a full-service operation for child support enforcement, for instance, or a complete TANF program, including intake and assessment, eligibility determination, and case management. In some cases public organizations have a better chance of getting assistance and help from the public than private organizations. Eligibility and requirements can be different between the two. As well as the eligibility period or amount of time the assistance can or will be given could vary. In 1996, Kansas drew national attention by adopting a...

...Fixed Costs, Variable Costs, and Break-Even Point 10.1 The highest meal minus the lowest meal = 4900-3500=1400 Highest cost minus the lowest cost= 26000-20500=5500 The variable cost could be the two answers from meals and cost divided by each other. Variable cost =5500/1400=$3.92857142857 or $3.93 Fixed cost is total cost-variable cost. So for July or the lowest meals and cost so 20500-(3500*3.93) so 3500*3.93=13755=20500-13755=6,745 Fixed cost 1 =6,745 To find BEP we need to know the formula which is Px=A+Bx So in 10.3 and 10.5 tables of the reading the price per unit is 5.77 so 5.77x=6,745+3.93x 5.77-3.93=6,745 (3.93-3.93) 1.84x=6745 1.84x/1.84x=6,745/1.84x X=3,666 monthly BEP SO 3,666*12=43,992 Fiscal year BEP To get 45,000= so BEP is 43, 992 so subtracting them 1,008 revenue 1,008 meals at 5.77=5,816.16 Total cost is 1,008 at 3.93=3,961.44 Total profit =5,816.16-3961.44=$1,854.72 10.2 Annual revenue per subscription =$20.00 Variable cost =$4.50 Annual margin per subscription=20-4.50=15.50 Annual fixed cost=6000+3900=9900 BEP=9900/15.5=638.71 This scenario is feasible because the current staff capacity believe that they can handle 650 newsletters so there is little slack because 650-638.71=11.29. There is room for basically 11 more newsletter subscribers to deliver...

Regularly agencies get traditional contracts and grants; but the economy has increased the need and requires them to find other sources. The Executive Director and Board of Directors have begun their search by using the internet, other agencies, and community networking. They have agreed on, that there are three options that will yield revenue while keeping costs under control. This will result in money left over for their program; appealing to local government officials, contacting local businesses for donations, and holding a strong public donation campaign. Contacting local government officials the agency may access information about funding that is available to community agencies that are not related to federal or state traditional grants and contracts. These may include United Way, connections to people who might donate, grants from large out-of the area businesses and foundations, or city donations to help unemployment. They may also receive (employ, volunteer, students) grant writers who will be willing to help organization understand, locating, and the writing process, that achieve better results.
